Texas Governor Rick Perry has sued the Virginia Board of Elections and
the Virginia Republican Party over his failure to obtain the 10,000
signatures necessary to have his name included on the presidential
primary ballot. Perry alleges that Virginia election rules violate his
right to freedom of speech and association, and has asked the court to
order his certification as a candidate on the primary
ballot.
